Q1: Does the Huawei S5735-L24T4S-A1 support PoE (Power over Ethernet)?
A: No. The S5735-L24T4S-A1 is a data-only access switch without PoE capability, designed for endpoints that use independent power sources. For a PoE+ version, consider the S5735-L24P4S-A1 model.
Q2: What is the port configuration of this switch?
A: It provides 24 × 10/100/1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) downlink ports and 4 × GE SFP uplink ports for fiber connectivity.
Q3: Does this model support 10G uplinks?
A: No. The uplink interfaces are standard 1G SFP ports. If 10G uplinks are required, the S5735-L24T4X-A1 model with 10GE SFP+ ports is recommended.
Q4: What is the switching capacity and forwarding performance?
A: The switch delivers a forwarding rate of 42 Mpps, with a device switching capacity of 56 Gbps and an overall system switching capacity of 336 Gbps.
Q5: Does the CloudEngine S5735-L24T4S-A1 support Layer 3 routing?
A: Yes. It supports essential Layer 3 features, including IPv4 static routing, RIPv1/v2, and OSPF.
Q6: Is the S5735-L24T4S-A1 a fanless switch?
A: No. It uses an active cooling system with one intelligent fan module that automatically adjusts speed to maintain optimal operating temperature.
Q7: Can multiple S5735-L24T4S-A1 switches be stacked?
A: Yes. Through Huawei’s iStack technology, up to 9 switches can be virtualized into a single logical device, offering up to 80 Gbps bidirectional stack bandwidth.
Q8: What is the maximum power consumption of the device?
A: The switch consumes approximately 32.7 W under typical load conditions and up to 47.6 W at full load.
Q9: What is the MAC address table capacity?
A: It supports up to 32,896 MAC address entries, suitable for modern enterprise network scales.
Q10: Can the S5735-L24T4S-A1 be managed via the cloud?
A: Yes. It supports Huawei CloudCampus and can be managed via platforms such as iMaster NCE-Campus for remote configuration and zero-touch deployment.
Q11: What are the physical dimensions and weight?
A: The switch features a compact 1U chassis measuring 43.6 mm (H) × 442 mm (W) × 220 mm (D), with a total weight of approximately 3.34 kg including packaging.
Q12: What security features are included?
A: It provides enterprise-grade security, including 802.1X authentication, MAC authentication, DHCP Snooping, strict ARP learning, and protection against DoS attacks such as SYN flood and ICMP flood.
